Years at Bethlehem: 4 

Academic Degrees: Lutheran Teaching Diploma, BS in education, and MA in teaching Curriculum and Instruction: Mathematics, and Educational Leadership: Administration While I grew up in the Lutheran school system, the 2016-2017 school year saw me accepting my third call, a call to join the ministry at Bethlehem Lutheran School. I have been blessed to be able to serve in Lutheran Education since graduating from Concordia University in 2000. My first call saw me serving at Grace Chapel in the St. Louis, Missouri area, as the fifth grade homeroom teacher and math teacher for seventh grade and the eighth grade Algebra teacher. When you have three boys, there is not a lot of free time so it is a wonderful thing to say that my favorite thing to do is to spend time with my wife and my boys. When I do venture out I enjoy getting in a round of golf or spending time with the friends we have made while in Colorado.

My name is Allegra Braasch. I am the K-8 children's music director, and I love it here at Bethlehem. I went to school here when I was a kid and couldn't stay away. I have four wonderful children who also attend or will someday attend Bethlehem and they love it as well! My husband Billy coaches the boys’ basketball teams and I coach the cheerleaders! I love to sing, dance, organize, camp, water ski, hike and be outside in beautiful Colorado. I also collect ducks! Bethlehem will always be my church home and I love helping lead worship services. I am truly blessed to be in a place where I get to serve Christ using the gifts He has given me.

Kacee Burke

ELC Teacher

Hi! My name is Kacee Burke. I am blessed to be a part of the Bethlehem ELC. I have my Bachelor’s Degree in History, with a minor in Social Work, and my Associates of Arts in Early Childhood Education. Before I started with Bethlehem I worked for a neighboring school district for 4 years, providing students K-12 with behavior interventions and support. Prior to my work with Intervention Services, I was a social caseworker for close to 10 years for one of the largest counties in Colorado. I have always worked with children in one aspect or another, but God brought my family and I to Bethlehem. I am married to my best friend Dan and were blessed with our tiny miracle Jacob in 2014. The 3 of us love to watch Bronco games, play with our Jack Russell Terrier, Riley, and spend time with our families. My favorite Bible verse is Psalm 91:4, "He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge."
